A PugilIst Saves His Friends.

Talking about pugillst saving
his friends" said Old Sport, "the
sllckest thing ! ever saw was done
by old Joe Goss in his fight with
Paddy Ryan down in Virginia in
the Spring of 1880. / didn't like
to see old Joe going up against
the young fellow; but | knew If
he was beaten there would be a
game fight before the battle was
over. You recollect there was a
good pile of money bet on first
blood, and all of Joe's friends
were betting that he would first
draw the claret from the young
Trojan.
swell, that was q fight and no
mistake, The brave old veteran
took his punishment and fought
like hero. AT the end of the
third or fourth round ne motioned
for Johnny n to come to
his side as he sat in his corner.
He mysteriously took Johny's
hand, carried 1t to his mouth, and
with his tongue deposited some
thing In his friends palm. Johnny
was bothered. He could not
make out what the fellow meant,
and began to think that the fight
had set him queer. johnny kept
his hand closed and jammed it into
his coat pocket and kept it there
until he had a chance to step to
ono side and examine the con.
tents. Cautiously Withdrawing his
hand, he slowly unloosed his fin.
gers, and glancing downward side.
ways, so that no one would oh.
serve him, he saw what it was.
The mystery was explained in an
instant, and old Joe's clear head
and forethought could not be too
highly commended. In the sec.
ond round Ryan had swung a
stinging right handler on Joe's
mouth, and there, resting in
Johnny's hand, were three old
teeth that had been knocked out,
and Joe had carried them through
two rounds until he got o chance
to get rid of them without display.
ing the fact that Ryan had drawn
first blood. lie thus saved his
friends that much Of their money
at any rate.
"Johnny quietly presented the
teeth to another friend. After
ward, when they had to send old
Joe outside of the city to catch
a train in order to keep him from
being arrested, johnny remarked
to the battle SCARED veteran,
when they were safely aboard:
"'What was that you gave me,
Joep
az don't know. What was itf
said Goss.
"Why, that you gave me out of
your mouth down in Virginia q
"Oh,' replied Joe, With a
chuckle, them bloody old stubs.
I'm glad the young feler knocked
them out, fur they was always

THE COTTON OUTLOOK.
NEw ORLEANS, April25, 1857

NEw ORLEANS, April25, lSS7.
Commercial Editor Times. Democrat:
The time has arrived when we
may with great confidence take a
survey of the whole question OF
cotton supply and consumption
for all Europe aud America. In
the following estimates of supply
we assume the American crop as
6, 400, 900 bales. 1t can hardly be
more, and judging by the com.
plete exhaustion now apparent
may and probably will be less.
The estimates of supply from 9th.
or countries are those of the re.
cognized authorities. Out of the
total supply of American, say
crop 100000 bales and stock
Sept. l, 1856, 10000 bales, to.
gether COOS, 600, we estimate that
America will retain for consump-
tion North and South, Canada and
Mexico, and stock Sept. l, 1887,
2,250,000 bales leaving for export
to Europe 4,3lS,000 bales.
The following will then be the
European supply reduced to bales
of 400 pounds:

When we come to examine the
question with special reference
to Great Britain, the situation may
be described as alarming, as the
following statement will show.
We have taken some pains to as.
certain the present consumption
and export of American cotton in
Great Britain and the present
stock of American in the hands oil
English spinners, having just re.
ceived by cable from our friends
estimates formed after consulta
tion with Mr.. Ellison. The pres
ent consumption and export ol
American cotton in Great Britain
is $4,000 bales per week, and the
present stock of American in the
hands of English Spinners is 22S,
600 bales. We are therefore, in q
position to estimate the probable
stock of American cotton IN Eng
land at the close of the present
season.

port from America out of this crop

This represents famine and is, Of
course, impossible. The necessary
cure is in reduced consumption.
But we hear that Manchester in
engaged far ahead in contrcts for
yarn and cloth, and as yet there is
no sign of stoppage ofmills. We
have not included any estimate of
new crop imported into Liverpool
IN September, as that never
amounts to much, and promises
less than usual this year, as the
more southerly cotton growing re-
gion, from which early cotton
comes, has been and is still suffer.
ing from drouth and cotton is very
backward. II. M. N.

OF 1ne houses, besides some elegant separate
dwellings have lately been put up on the improved
portion OF the street south Of Duke street. The
question OF parking andIpaving this portion of the

and Will doubtless be soon carried out. Mean
while crossings Will be placed upon It at two H.

Through misunderstanding a statement was
printed In THE STAR last night that the District
Commissioners had agreed to suspend the regula-
ton prohibiting the issuing OF licenses to sell
liquor by the drink 10 all grocery and provision
stores The erroneous statement was made in con-
nection with report OF conference between a
committee from the board Of trade and the Com
missioners The facts are that the committee
asked the Commissioners to suspend that regula-
ton pending the filing OF a written argument by
| them upon their petition to rescind 1t entirely.
To this the Commissioners returned a negative
answer.
